Thank-You
Hello David
Glad to read you are improving your LaSalle.
I have a the horns you need in a LaSalle Lot on Ebay.
You keep saying about your eBay ad Chuck but I can never find it. Can you post a link to it?
I can not find them on E-bay
Dave
Dave,
Please clarify. You have horns that don't work or your horns are missing??
Thanks, Bob
The horns I have do not work and they were mounted in the back of the air filter housing, So I am not sure if they are the correct ones and they just mounted them in the wrong place
Do you have pics of the correct horns?? I have a pair of trumpet horns but I'm not sure what they are.
I may have them. A pic from someone would help...
I'll try to get a look at mine in the morning. A picture is going to be difficult and I can't believe they are 3 feet long or longer. The grills not that long!
That would be good to get a picture posted. As I have the grill out and brackets and horns are not there

Steve,
Anxious to see your pics. The last time & saw 3 foot horns they were on a cowboy Cadillac!

Guys,
Here are pics of my horns. They were stored with a friend & he brought them over tonight. I have NO idea if they're correct. They're on their way to a swap meet on Sat. I have not tested them. Questions? Please ask.
HTH, Bob
OK guys, here's the skinny. I couldn't take a picture because I would have to remove the grill but I can see them through the grill. Your horns are not the right ones for 38 Bob but they would certainly do because when fitted no one can see them, but the absolutely correct 38 horns are one at 24" long and the other 18" long. Both on a separate brackets each side of the inner grill surround.
I did think the bracket holding yours together Bob might be 36 because the 36 horns are attached to the rad stays but no, the 36 horns have the trumpet coming out the base of the body and turning 90 degrees to face forward. The 37 horns actually face backwards then the trumpet turns 180 degrees to face forward and these horns attach to the air cleaner. HTH
Is everyone aware of this post and picture? Or was it not complete enough?

I'm pretty sure we are all aware, especially as David himself started both posts. In the first he wanted to know just what was missing and now he knows he started the the second where he's asking if anyone has the correct type. Bob was trying to determine if he has the correct type????
I'm sure we appreciate Toms pic. I can only see one horn & very little of the mounting bracket. I think Steve is right. My horns could be modified to fit in his 38. That's up to David.
Bob
Tom thanks for the picture it gave me the location of the horns.
Bob, I am interested in those horns, Have you tested them?
Thank you for everyone's input, I really enjoy this forum
Thanks Dave
David,
I've not tested the horns. I don't have a 6 volt battery. I also feel that they should be serviced & cleaned first as has been discussed on this board in the past. I will be selling them as-is for $150 plus postage. Please contact me directly at bobscads@comcast.net.
Thanks, Bob
I sent you an Email Bob
Dave
Got it. Will respond shortly.
Bob
David, there is a set of 38 horns on ebay right now. They come with the grill, grill shell and radiator mount. Search under "LaSalle". The listing is: LaSalle grill 1939 hearse "No Marks", which is incorrect because it's a 38. The grill is rather odd, I first thought it was a factory grill with some bars and logo bolted on but it is indeed unique.
Tom Beaver
found it thanks Tom!
